this is the story of our life at "Rosevale on the Palouse Prairie" in eastern Washington State, and my love affair with all things fiber/fabric.
'BeanQueen' you might ask, well in my previous life I was the curater of the Phaseolus Germplasm Collection (beans native to the western hemisphere) in the United States. My lovely #2 sister gifted me with my 'nom autre'.

Sunday summation

Well, found out why I have had the "slows"; it seems I picked up some stomach bug. And what had me feeling under the weather yesterday hit me full force today. I had to cancel my intent to go to WoolGatherers- don't want my friends to get sick. I didn't get my trees pruned today either, but the DH says he'll help me on Wednesday-his day off from being "the bus driver".I did get something done, though - between trips to the powder room :~( - to put it politely.I got all the Wensleydale singles plied into a 3-ply yarn. I alternated the balls of singles since there was 4 oz. of one color (Headache) and 4 oz. of a second color (Cold Front) into a yarn that is about a sport weight from appearance. I will do a weight count when the yarn is dry. I washed it and am waiting for some of the water to soak into the towels, then I will "thwack" it and let it hang to dry.Here is how it appears before the above treatments. And here's a photo of my latest bear for the MotherBearProject. Meet #30 in my parade of bears: Andy bear.
